Chapter 497: The Cosmic Beast Is Born!

-----

CRASH!

The Cosmic Egg suddenly hatched, exploding into pieces, which dissipated into particles of light and darkness, revealing the creature that came out of the egg once and for all!

An enormous and splendorous two-headed dragon!

Its body size easily surpassed 50 meters, and its entire body was packed with hard and metallic scales. The right head was black-scaled, and held a furious and raging expression with crimson eyes, while the left head was golden-scaled, and held a calm expression with shining golden eyes!

It exuded an aura of Void, Chaos, Life, and Death!

Its right head held a row of spiky and metallic black horns coated in a deadly toxin, his crimson eyes gleamed with malice and chaotic nature. Its claws were black and exuded a spectral aura within them, and it had a long black wing covered in black bones resembling armor plates.

Its left head held a beautiful crown of metallic golden horns as if they were truly made of gold, exuding an aura of bright life. Its scales were like golden armor, and its claws exuded a twisting aura of void and a splendorous and bright aura of life, its wing was the same size as its other side, but gold and green, and covered in golden scales.

The enormous pressure it exuded made the entire inner divine realm tremble as its powerful attributes exuded everywhere! This creature had already comprehended part of the Laws of Void, Chaos, Life, and Death by merely being born!

The two-headed dragon raised its wings, as it roared with both of its heads!

"ROOOOAARR!"

Ervas, Veronica, and Kireina glanced at the dragon roar pridefully, as it glanced at the three with its pair of crimson eyes and its pair of golden eyes…

It raised its wings, as it flew towards them at an incredible speed which they could barely react to!

FLASH!

Ervas and Veronica felt an instinctual dread encompass their very soul and bodies, and with Kireina at their side, the two fused together and flew away!

Flash!

However, the dragon quickly caught up to their speed, and reached them once more!

"ROOOOAARR!"

"Oi System, is our little baby trying to kill us now?!" asked Veronica.

"No! Stop! Don't escape from it, it is trying to create a bond!" said the System.

"A bond?" asked Ervas.

"Just trust me!" said the System, as Ervas and Veronica decided to trust the system that has helped them through their second and third lives, and decided to stop running away from their "children".

The two quickly stopped flying away, but Kireina decided to stay far away.

"RROOOAARR!"

The dragon flew directly towards Ervas and Veronica, if it were to impact the two, they might not die, but they would end up greatly damaged, the power this creature exuded was enormous!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

However, the dragon suddenly stopped right in front of their noses, generating shockwaves all around which caused a "Boom!" sound.

The shockwaves traveled everywhere and Kireina escaped inside a pocket dimension to not be affected by it, while Ervas and Veronica took it head-on.

The mere shockwave it generated by suddenly stopping while flying at an immense speed, crossed through their souls and bodies, damaging them a bit!

But the pain quickly flew away, as the mere aura of the dragon suddenly began to heal any damage it caused accidentally.

The two glanced at the gigantic dragon, as its head stuck their tongues out and began to lick the two adorably.

"Mama…! Papa…!" it said with both of its heads, it was adorable yet terrifying at the same time!

Ervas and Veronica watched at it with their eyes wide open, it spoke! It knew how to talk from the get-go!

"You… can talk?" asked Veronica.

"I can… talk… a bit!" said the dragon.

"I see… So you recognize us as your parents?" asked Ervas.

"Mama and papa have… special scent! Souls… delicious scent!" said the dragon, licking them some more, and leaving them covered in saliva.

It seemed that the dragon itself was able to recognize them as their parents by the nature of their souls, which was the same as it due to being born and formed by the power of both of their souls combined, and quite probably large chunks of them.

"W-Well, it is nice to have a new child… though it might seem awkward to have it with my split soul, I guess the deed is already done," sighed Veronica.

"I-Indeed. Let's simply be happy over it," said Ervas, as he and Veronica caressed the dragon's enormous snot, sharing some of their love with it.

The Dragon seemed happy, as it exuded more of its power all around.

But as they did, they wondered one thing…

Why a dragon?

And the system answered.

"If you may wonder why it is a Dragon, it might be because it took both of your soul's essences and capabilities. Ervas possesses a strong dragon essence on his soul after enhancing the bloodline of the dragons he has, while Veronica also has it after eating the Dragon Soul Cheat Ability from Natalia some time ago," said the System.

"If you watch at its structure closely, it also possesses various of your features, such as many bones stuck as armor, metallic black armor, phantasmal flesh, wood, and branches, and more…" it continued.

"I… see…" said the two, they were still swallowing the whole event, but it was still rather shocking.

"Now then… should we make that bond you spoke about?" asked Veronica.

"It is already done," said the System.

"Eh?" asked Ervas.

"Since it began to lick you two that the bond was done, your souls and origins are now connected to it!" said the System.

And then Ervas and Veronica quickly realized it! Their souls were clearly fused through thick soul threads with the vast and powerful soul of the dragon!

"The hard part is assimilating it into the System… But I seem to have made it. However, unlike other beings, its power is so vast that it surpasses the System in some ways, so not all information might be shown, even through Wisdom…" said the System, as both Ervas ad Veronica decided to check their children's status.
